Un tal Cangrejo

The dog is to blame for everything, or at least that's what the twelve-year-old Crab believes, because it's by taking him out for a walk that he meets Jotacé and his henchman Tarado, two free, insolent and violent kids who personify a universe that the Crab wants to form. part and that his middle-class family has denied him: the world of the street, with its fights and its myths. Immersed in a premature adolescence marked by the need for leadership and by the belief that it is legitimate to take by force what one craves, very soon Crab finds himself dragged away from the classroom, exposed to his fate in a city ruled by boys and girls. full of motorcycles, hustle and bustle, on which he also projects his personal mythology: gladiators in Roman amphitheaters, knights and princesses in medieval castles, spies and legendary gangsters. Crab thus grows up between the real world and the imaginary one, learning the codes of loyalty and the language of betrayal, and in his transit to the territory of adults he soon understands that they are even less trustworthy than the adolescents themselves.
